Idared is bright red and shiny, with firm white flesh. It is a cross between Jonathan and Wagener, and was bred in the USA in 1942.The Jonathan parent gives it its rich red skin, the Wagener parent means it is firm and has some tartness. It is good for eating, cooking and is especially suited for european style apple cake, apple strΓΌdel and for baked apples. We pick it in early-mid April.
